be your raintne in the morning. I have no doubt
we're gonna be sitting here and all of a sudden,
you're gonna heard like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's the ringtone? Whoa whoa. People are like, whoa, whoa.
You're angry. No, I'm not. I'm happy.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I'm excited because the Knicks are three wins away from.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
The NBA Championship. How about that?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, you know, look and I know, and I know
this would be something we talk about more in depth
tomorrow because just trust me, because I know what the
media is like, I know what my fellow brethren are like.
The Knicks are getting a lot of credit winning this game,
going up one to nothing, but like I said, I
already seen ESPN other plays as well. Now it's gonna
be a long series. The Knicks needed to win game one, yeah, absolutely,
(03:05):
they needed to split coming out of coming out of
San Antonio. Absolutely, because I, as I said, you're not
gonna go back home down to Zip and win and
win the NBA Final.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
You needed to split.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But you're going to see credit to the Knicks tomorrow,
but you're also gonna see a yeah, butt, Yeah, the
Knicks are good, but what.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If they really did? The Knicks are good butt, And
you know what, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You want to doubt the Knicks all the way to
the NBA title, Go ahead, everybody's gonna find a way
because if I just don't believe the Knicks or this, Okay,
I don't believe they were that good in the first
round of the playoffs, right, I don't believe they were
that good in the second round. Don't believe that good
in the NBA final in Eastern Conference finals, and oh
they got a Spurs team that's tired, or all the
(03:45):
people are just gonna find a way to move the
goalposts because they just don't want to give the Knicks credit.
And that's how it's gonna go. And honestly, I don't care.
I'm gonna love to see Becky Hammond say well, I
got job, no more interviews. I'm gonna love seeing Draymond
Green having to say, well, Jaylen Brian, can we talk
about something else? I heard we're getting Lebron. It's gonna
be fun to hear that. But honestly, I know how
(04:06):
it's gonna go, and I know tomorrow you're gonna hear
a good run of Yeah, but for the Knicks, when
I want to say, if they weren't the Knicks, if
this was the Boston Celtics or the Oklahoma City Thunder
or the Denver Nuggets, pick your team that did what
the Knicks have done in the playoffs, and that is
(04:29):
win twelve games in a row, all of them by
double digits, blowing out opponents. They have been the best
team in the playoffs. If this was the Thunder doing
this again, you would the media, everybody, every expert you
know would be falling all over themselves to say this
is one of the great is just the greatest team
of all time? Is the greatest individual playoff run we
(04:52):
have seen.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All the Knicks do is win and win big and
not lose. And it's still not enough for some peace.
Go ahead, knock yourself out, man. I enjoy hearing people
try to talk themselves into a pretzel. You want to
keep thinking that way. Great, That's why Wenby saying a
few minutes ago, Yeah, I was just bad. That's all
I have to worry about. You know, we have some
time to figure this out.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Good.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm glad you think you have time.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I'm glad you think you have time.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's a long say. Yeah, you don't win game two,
series is over. I'm glad you think that. I'm glad
to I'm glad to see that. I don't mind feasting
on people taking taking you for granted or underestimating you,
because those are teams that win. But if you take
the if you take the facts of here are the
Knicks that Okay, you got down to one in the
first round against the Hawks, but then you won the
(05:36):
last three games. Then you swept the Sixers who knocked
the Celtics out. Not my fault the Celtics. If the
Celtics were better, they would have played. So oh, you
beat the Celtics six No, I'll tell you, if they
were better, they would be there. Swept the Calves who
beat the Mighty Pistons, who were the number one team
in the in the conference. Not only did they beat them,
beat them by fifty on their home floor in game five.
(05:57):
In Game seven, now they go into San anton San
Antonio is the best team they've ever faced. Yeah yeah, yeah,
and they win by ten. And now they've taken home
court away and they're one game away from New York
planning a huge party after Game four, right, Like, I'm
not saying that the Spurs aren't going to win Game two,
but it's just eventually, you have to understand that the
(06:18):
bottom of the end of this season is coming, whether
you like. It's like people think, oh, there's still like
four more rounds of playoffs left for the Knicks to
prove that they're not that great. We're in the finals
and there's there's three more games for the Knicks to win,
and they've taken home court away and none of the
favorites to win the NBA to win the title in
hoist Lario O'Brien trophy. Like, it still baffles me that
(06:38):
people want to go through that, but they will and
they will continue to find ways to do a Yeah,
but with the Knicks press director for your New York Knicks, everybody,
it's Jason Smith. There, you have it right there. No,
I mean, look, you can't caveat all of that. Like
in the end, you're still winning games, and you can
only beat who's on the schedule, and you can only
beat who's on the court. But it doesn't take away
(06:59):
from the fact that this guy didn't play here, that
guy didn't play there. Those are all part of the
narrative in the road. Guess what, they weren't there to
be run over and we'll never know. You can go
play that in your video games. You can go play
that in the Marvel Cinematic universe and go figure out
Earth eight ninety seven or whatever it will be, uh
where maybe all of those guys and principal players are there.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I do know this.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Before the season, fifty three and a half was the
win total for the Knicks. Fifty three and twenty nine.
They screwed you, they.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Were they were right. Hey did they screw us? Or
were they right at the number? Well? They but they
hit the under.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
They were the four that favorite if you bet the under,
well I didn't screw you.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I think a lot of the more people. But you
know how the human psychology yours? Sure, who's putting money
down on the Knicks over under Hicks fans? What are
they betting? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Over? No? No, I gotta say, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And one other thing too. I was saying, I've realized
just now here ten oh seven and fifty four seconds,
I've got a lot of coffee. Oh you have, yeah? Now,
I cling I had some sugar from the Tim Tams
three MB the Tim Tam, but the Knicks were the
Fia Tim TAM's and the Knicks. That's tonight for you.
This is almost like John Belushi's training table for a
(08:09):
little chocolate donuts and cigarettes from that famous set. Look
at him, run, everybody, Hey at my training table. I
got little chocolate donuts as he's got a heater in
his other hand.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
The Knicks were the fourth favorite.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Thunder Nuggets, Calves, Knicks, pistons were thirty three to one,
Spurs sixty six to one, fifty to one. Depending on
where you were shopping, there were some gaps. All that
to say, folks will decide what narrative they want to
run with, and that's fine, right, I mean, that's that's
the way our fun media works. It's lies, damn lies, statistics,
(08:43):
and sometimes it's failing to recognize what you're actually watching.
They've dominated in this game. Jalen Brunson in the fourth
quarter was Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony Towns. We threw them
as flowers last hour and throughout this show as we
came on air, as the second half was getting underway,
and how important he was. It was exacerbated, highlighted, more illustrated,
(09:07):
however you want to put it. When they started throwing
up graphics of what he did to Wenbin Yama defensively,
and that's where you start to get a big blinking
red light because this is a little bit different, right,
This is a little bit different NIXT team because you
got Karl Anthony Towns playing defense at a high level.
But for those that want to push away right once
the title's there, it's fine, but history is still gonna
(09:28):
say that guy didn't play that guy, and you're not
gonna be able to dismiss that. So what you're just
gonna need to do is mute those accounts because otherwise
your blood pressure gets screwed with.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I don't need that for you. This is supposed to
be your happy time.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'm happy, no, dude, but I can but I can
see that it vexes you now. But you're never gonna
get one hundred percent credit because people are going to
point to Tatum somehow, even though he was supposedly.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Cleared not playing a game seven. Yeah, but Detroit. But
here's overachieving to some the Cavalier.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Depending on James Harden, there were flaws it written into
the script. But here's the thing. My happiness level is like,
okay to take two of my other favorite teams. To
tell you where I'm at right now, right I always say,
you know, the Mets. I'm always gonna love the Mets
because baseball my first love. And how much you know,
good or bad, one hundred and sixty year years, I
just love the season.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
As a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Dude, I've been looking for a Kingman jersey for you
know how long for a Mets Kingman jersey. Can't find
one Tom Seaver. I mean, it's so famous that he
had a card stolen in your friends and neighbors. Hey,
I misidentified it, but that's I mean, sever's great. But
having a Dave Kingman one is, you know, because I
can talk about xt, you know, because I've always loved
baseball no matter what bad year, good year, I'm into it.
(10:43):
I tell you about the Jets. What do I say
about the Jets? Am I a Jets fan because I
still watching like I do and as intently as I am,
because I love watching them play football.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
No, but I know at some point one year.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's gonna turn and it's gonna be fun for me
to say, blank, you this is our turn now, all
that we've been a doormat for the better part of
two decades, do you know what it's gonna turn. It
did go to the AFC title game back to back
years again, fifteen years ago, you got ten years ago.
All of my forties, I didn't go to the playoffs,
Mike Carmen, I did not go. I recognize, okay, the
(11:18):
whole decade, I remember, you got there. I was trained
five man nothing for my years of the forties. I'm
not on the All decade fan team. Right for my
last Super Bowl, my team was in the only thing
anybody remembers that Prince was playing the Raid. So then
the rigs are a perfect blend of both of those.
How much I love the Knicks and how much of
(11:39):
yeah you think we're bad?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Wait, wait, way do we show you? Way?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Do we stick it to you?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
The Knicks?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Heaven one since the year I was bored? How about
that time? Man?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You know, when I'm old, I've lived many live. Phil
Jackson was their second best player. He was fantastic throwing
bows in the low low post. You mean he was
borderline dirty by the way. People would say, no, you
mean Phil Jackson was the coach last I know he
was there second best player the last time they won.
Oh you sure he wasn't the coach? Yeah no, pretty sure.
Pull up a picture of Phil Jackson on his nineteen
(12:08):
seventy three tops card. He's as thick as Wemby not Wenby. Check.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, he looks like chet holmger Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
So one of those elbows comes at you, it's like
he's swinging aside. I think seventy three card. Let me say,
hang on, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there he is, yeah
hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Look at that. Oh wow, look how lean he is.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
If one of those elbows comes at you, Phil is
all knees and elbows. Man, he looks like what was it,
uh miss peregrins? Yeah, oh your children? Yeah remember that
movie and the the demons that were running around.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It looked like that. Yeah, no, he is. He still
got the mustage. Yeah, no, of course.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
But I mean, like, I mean, I you would think
that at some point the dominance of the Knicks at
this playoffs would really start to take center stage. And
maybe it's gonna flip at some point, but I mean
it like it's it's it's I think the hatred of
the Knicks or them being bad for so long. People
just don't want to believe that they're this good and
can win the NBA Finals. And and I got news
(13:06):
for you. There's only two teams left, and the Knicks
are one of them, and right now they're the favorites
to win. They just took home court away from the
San Antonio Spurs. They've been doing everything you would expect
out of a team. What okay, so oh that we
don't think the Casual that good. We don't think the
Sixers were that good. They won every game by double
digits against that. But even if they're good, what does
(13:27):
it matter? It does it matter you have to win
by thirty? I mean, don't I don't know what. People
want to move the goalpost for the Knicks all the time,
and I'm like, okay, all right, maybe at the parade,
but some of it I think, Jason is the I
have to go out of my way to overcompensate back
this way because I've got way too many New York
voices and stoleing the virtues of the Knicks and laughing
(13:48):
it up. Yeah, So you go to the other end
and be like, all right, well, it's great you won
but the Yeah, but I'm like, you know, start through
you gotta be got to have a heart and.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Understand the joy that comes through here.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I understand that I at least get one year for
the last twenty years of suckitude, or you know, not
the last twenty but up until Brunson got here, like
you know, the fifteen years before of suckitude. Like I
get one good year. I got one year. Yeah, last
year that was so great. No, No, when I walk
away from it, there Halliburton's three and the chokes on
and Reggie Miller laughing, Yeah, yea, all that. Yeah, I
(14:23):
mean like that, I couldn't even enjure you. No, that
was a good time on air that last year, though.
I mean, we got a lot of run out of that.
But I think that might be some of it of
folks just kind of trying to combat the New York
weight and trying to balance the these scales of sports
talk radio justice.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
As it were.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Tomorrow, you're gonna hear a lot of folks go back
through a lot of what we just did with Kat.
We put it out there on a platter for you
and break it down in real time as it goes through.
I'm wise enough to recognize bulls aren't gonna be a
good anytime soon. So I appreciate when guys get there
their just due and go to work right.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's the old.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
As much as people hated Belichick and the Patriots, what
was their entire mantra do your job right? You weren't
special in the locker room. Tom Brady getting eviscerated by
coaches the same way as the last man on the
roster with the Knicks. It's very much the same. That
lunch pale mentality and the fact that they I don't know,
seem to like each other. It is kind of cool
(15:24):
as opposed to being a mercenary or a guy that
comes in well, I didn't have no trade, so I
had to show up here and here we go. But
it's it'll be interesting to watch the flow tomorrow because.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We call it out.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Also, as much as you rise up and raise the
level of Karl Anthony Towns, Victor Webman Yama played very
small today. He got bullied in the low post by
Kat and Mitchell Robinson and was I guess satisfied hanging
(15:59):
out on the perimeter shooting bad three point shots looking
for foul calls. You're not gonna get a fall every
time you run into a guy that's six' nine to.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Eighty it's just.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Not gonna happen if you bounce. Off that's, life. Right
you watch. It watch youth. Soccer you'll have a winger
run up and bounce off a. Defender you can't call
a fall every time someone just bounces off the.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Running up to the same thing.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Here When mignalma kept looking for foul calls that weren't
going to, come and what. Happened he started playing a
little further away from the, basket a little further away
from the. Basket so what did that do and open
more opportunities on the rebounding angles For Josh hart and
for all of those secondary players of The knicks to
come in and fill those gaps in the score sheet
to get you to a.
Speaker 3 (16:42):

Seven? What, no but you feel better at six and TWO.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
I feel a little bit better at six and two.
THIRD i JUST i felt LIKE i wanted to. Be

Got i've got it being, Yep i've got six and two.
Thirds AND i, say the shutout streak. Continues christmaerstanchez what

way to keep it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):

drives they hit him pretty.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Well he's been on him in the past.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Matchups to go back the last time he faced The Padre,

laughed at you last night LIKE i laughed at the
whole six and two thirty. Seven i'm never gonna. Last
adam aligned that he should be uh CO gm of The. Mets,
(24:43):
NO i, say if you could project guy's. Futures. No.

when he goes, Walking talbot goes walking into the tent
(25:24):
at the. Circus, Oh i'm just picture more looking Like
dumbledore to look at, it and he sticks our head
in the pen. Seve, look we had a couple of
pictures on the walls that are just staring and scoffing
at us. WORK i mean that WAS i, mean there's
predictions and There's John Paul morrosi man does Seven no, no,
(25:45):
no wait wait wait.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
It's six and two thirds and two thirds at.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Six that's. Unbelievable, no we love that. Guy we talk
Unbelievable and the knicks going up one zip over the.
Spurs we talked About Karl Anthony towns last. Hour he's
the reason why this has won. Nothing this was the
best game Of Karl Anthony towns' career right both ends
(26:10):
of the. Court, defensively what he did To wemby, offensively
being the, facilitator being the second scorer they needed, eighteen
twelve and.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Six he was.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Terrific The knicks win this game and they pull away
Because Jalen brunson Does Jalen brunson.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Things the end of a. Game he's.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Clutch. AGAIN i don't know that there's a guy in
the league that hits more clutch, shots not more clutch free.
Throws that would BE, Sga BUT i don't know there's
a guy at the end of games because consistently he
takes all the shots right, still the way the offense opens,
up there's room for other. Guys and because the offenses
open up, more it's harder to concentrate just On, Brunson
(26:47):
whereas even last year at this time it was, okay
four guys standing around and Maybe jalen bruns can get
his own shot and he makes. It it's make or miss.
League he makes it that. Great sometimes he misses The
knicks would blow a big. Lead that's how it. Goes
BUT i don't know that there's a guy that hits
the sheer number of clutch shots down the stretch in
a tight game That brunson. Does and he did it
tonight thirteen points in the fourth, quarter and you, know
(27:11):
at the. End and this is What i've talked about
The knicks all season, long even going back to the
beginning of the, YEAR i, said the last four minutes
of a, game nobody out executes The. Knicks. Right they
have figured out a way offensively to make it where
it's not the team it was a year. Ago no
one's going to out execute them because now it's a
little bit different. Offense brunson's one of the most clutch
(27:31):
guys in the. Game you're not going to out execute
The knicks in the final four. Minutes and when you
think about, that you think about the huge advantage they
have over The, spurs, Because, okay at the end of
a game like this is a tie game basically over
the course of the last couple of. Minutes, okay so
It's brunson against, two, Right, Like, okay The spurs are
a great, team, right great young. Team Wemby, Castle Harper, fox, right,
(27:56):
champion he made shots. Tonight but, okay where's the ball
going when you need a? BASKET i Know Jalen brunt
is gonna take the. Shot and If Jalen brunson gets
doubled or he's gonna find a way to find the open,
guy whether it's og Or hart Or bridges Or Karl Anthony.
Towns but who's gonna do that for The? Spurs right
when it comes down to a close game and The
(28:18):
spurs need a? Bucket where are you gonna? Go like
you need to? Go and and And Rick buker talked
to us and, saying you, know the thing is Obviously
wemby is someone you want to give him the ball,
to but being a, big that's kind of hard to.
Do even if you're a skilled big Like, wemby it's
hard to go To, wemby, Right so, Okay so if
it's Not, wemby it's a guy with the ball in his,
Hands like Is Daron fox making all these shots That
Jalen brunson, Is he's. Not Dylan harper's, terrific, Right and
(28:40):
he was the GUY i told you last night who
WAS i scared of having a big, Series Dylan. Harper
he had a huge game, tonight, Right, no, no, no
he had a huge start to the, game a huge see,
Court he's thut in the fourth. Quarter and if you
look at his shot chart for the fourth, Quarter, yeah
he took his money and you AND i did. Combined
so obviously you know he's not gonna get the shots
at the end of the. Game, uh is it gonna be. Champion,
(29:02):
no because he had one shot in the second. Half
but who's gonna take those? Shots who's gonna be that
guy when it's a close, game and and THE nba
is a man's, game it comes down to. This these
are Big these are big. Decisions these are big possessions
where the entire season rests on what you can. Do
and when you have somebody that you know is gonna
take those. Shots, OKAY i mean going back to The
(29:26):
thunder series against The, spurs LIKE sga was the only
guy that could take. That, okay, Great But SGA's game
is not quite What brunson's game. Is when it comes
to What brunson has at his, DISPOSAL sga is either
making that shot and or nobody. Else's so When SGA's
thing is to get into the. Lane, well guess what
(29:47):
With wenby Being, wemby he had a tough time the
entire series shooting. Right so that's WHY i talk about
The thunder being a great matchup for The, spurs, because,
yeah they don't have that second. Score there's nobody else
where they can go with the. Ball you can just
isolate On sga and With wemby Being, wemby you're gonna
force him into bad Shooting with The, Knicks, okay you
want to isolate On Gentlen, brunson there's other guys can
(30:08):
make those. Shots but, still you, know when you come
down to the end of the, game you have clarity
as to where the ball is gonna go on how
this offense is gonna. Run do The spurs have any?
Clarity they don't. Know the other thing when you look
at The knicks construction is you've got, guys And i'll
just say it in its basis, terms you got guys
with a lot of ass that will clear ways for
brunts and to fine. Lanes, Right he's a small, guy great,
(30:31):
body control all of that. Stuff but Without, mitchell Without,
cat that lane gets cluttered real. Fast those guys clear
a lot of space for. Him And Oklahoma city didn't
have that. Guy, Right jet's not moving any. BODIES i,
Mean hartenstein is to a, point but he doesn't live
down in the low post the same way and create
(30:52):
those same types of OPPORTUNITIES. SGA a lot of it
was body, control get to the, line all of that.
Stuff when we look at where the spurs. Are Darren
fox has been a great. Disappointment LIKE i know he
was hurt to start last, series but he was invisible,
tonight shot poorly and in the fourth. Quarter the ball's
got to be in his. Hands wemby can't be eighteen
feet from the basket and then, okay let me try
(31:16):
to drive against now four guys that are gonna just
impede my way to the, basket and you don't have
the same level of.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Rebounding.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Right the video that's making the rounds now isn't game.
Related it goes back To Jalen. Brunson you AND i
were on air when this started, circulating When Josh hart
got traded to The knicks and he was reunited with his,
guy and he was at an airport and started running.
Around he can't do his phone trying to confirm the nut's.
Case you got a guy Like Josh hart rebound no space.
Whatever but, again you've got bigs that can create that x.
(31:46):
Space spurs don't have that. Guy, no they don't have
that guy because they're not on the court at the same. Time,
Right cornett does that to a, degree but only do
a much smaller. Degree he still has one of the
great rundown blocks since shot blocker. Room, wait but but
they're not on the court together a ton, Right you're
you're mixing and. Matching but the fact That Dylan harper
(32:07):
wasn't around for much of the second half and That
Darren fox played so. Terribly now he played well In
game seven when you needed. Him Keldon johnson played well
In game. Seven they both were useless from a tactical Standpoint.
Tonight both kind of shrunk away in the, moment Allowing
Jalen brunson to have one of Those New york. Minutes once,
(32:27):
again The knicks seemed to be more in sync with each,
other which are. RIGHT i, mean they haven't been together
a long the. Time The spurs are a younger. Team
like you, know it's stuff that you, expect but, REALLY
i mean that's the big stark. Difference it comes down
to an alternate possession. GAME i, KNOW i know what
The knicks are gonna, do and they have confidence.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Going we're.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Not we're not playing slow when it comes down to
the end of a, Game we're. Not we know what's gonna.
Happen where the. Spurs do we go hot? Hand do
we try to jam jamming Into? Wenby do we try
to what do we do like they don't have? That
we get him back to the, basket get him down
low where he's not playing point guard up at the
top of the. Heat the other THING i have to
say is there's one MORE mvp we haven't. Acknowledged, Sure brunson's,
(33:08):
dad we.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Did.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah whoever was the equipment guy Or brunson himself who
decided after.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
The injury that he had to change his Shoe.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Shoes and whoever game the knee brace all of that
buckle them. In now you sell that knee? Brace hea't
Used you said that one video making the rounds With
brunson And Josh. Hart this other video is making the
rounds tight.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Shirt we got it.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Guy that guy might be On Dan patrick in the.

they grab him or whatever is. Said BUT i, mean

Speaker 3 (01:57):
For this long, I may have overestimated. I may have
arrested man. Go to New York.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Don't get cocky, kid, but again about that and throw
back to nineteen seventy seven for you an hour from
now our best of podcasts. Wherever you get your podcast
just search our names. All our content will be there,
download and send it to friends and family, or like
those guys in New York, We'll burn the city down,
or something like that's gonna be your risk, that's gonna
(02:26):
be your raintne in the morning. I have no doubt
we're gonna be sitting here and all of a sudden,
you're gonna heard like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's the ringtone? Whoa whoa. People are like, whoa, whoa.
You're angry. No, I'm not. I'm happy.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I'm excited because the Knicks are three wins away from.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
The NBA Championship. How about that?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, you know, look and I know, and I know
this would be something we talk about more in depth
tomorrow because just trust me, because I know what the
media is like, I know what my fellow brethren are like.
The Knicks are getting a lot of credit winning this game,
going up one to nothing, but like I said, I
already seen ESPN other plays as well. Now it's gonna
be a long series. The Knicks needed to win game one, yeah, absolutely,
(03:05):
they needed to split coming out of coming out of
San Antonio. Absolutely, because I, as I said, you're not
gonna go back home down to Zip and win and
win the NBA Final.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
You needed to split.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But you're going to see credit to the Knicks tomorrow,
but you're also gonna see a yeah, butt, Yeah, the
Knicks are good, but what.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
If they really did? The Knicks are good butt, And
you know what, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You want to doubt the Knicks all the way to
the NBA title, Go ahead, everybody's gonna find a way
because if I just don't believe the Knicks or this, Okay,
I don't believe they were that good in the first
round of the playoffs, right, I don't believe they were
that good in the second round. Don't believe that good
in the NBA final in Eastern Conference finals, and oh
they got a Spurs team that's tired, or all the
(03:45):
people are just gonna find a way to move the
goalposts because they just don't want to give the Knicks credit.
And that's how it's gonna go. And honestly, I don't care.
I'm gonna love to see Becky Hammond say well, I
got job, no more interviews. I'm gonna love seeing Draymond
Green having to say, well, Jaylen Brian, can we talk
about something else? I heard we're getting Lebron. It's gonna
be fun to hear that. But honestly, I know how
(04:06):
it's gonna go, and I know tomorrow you're gonna hear
a good run of Yeah, but for the Knicks, when
I want to say, if they weren't the Knicks, if
this was the Boston Celtics or the Oklahoma City Thunder
or the Denver Nuggets, pick your team that did what
the Knicks have done in the playoffs, and that is
(04:29):
win twelve games in a row, all of them by
double digits, blowing out opponents. They have been the best
team in the playoffs. If this was the Thunder doing
this again, you would the media, everybody, every expert you
know would be falling all over themselves to say this
is one of the great is just the greatest team
of all time? Is the greatest individual playoff run we
(04:52):
have seen.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
All the Knicks do is win and win big and
not lose. And it's still not enough for some peace.
Go ahead, knock yourself out, man. I enjoy hearing people
try to talk themselves into a pretzel. You want to
keep thinking that way. Great, That's why Wenby saying a
few minutes ago, Yeah, I was just bad. That's all
I have to worry about. You know, we have some
time to figure this out.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Good.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm glad you think you have time.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I'm glad you think you have time.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's a long say. Yeah, you don't win game two,
series is over. I'm glad you think that. I'm glad
to I'm glad to see that. I don't mind feasting
on people taking taking you for granted or underestimating you,
because those are teams that win. But if you take
the if you take the facts of here are the
Knicks that Okay, you got down to one in the
first round against the Hawks, but then you won the
(05:36):
last three games. Then you swept the Sixers who knocked
the Celtics out. Not my fault the Celtics. If the
Celtics were better, they would have played. So oh, you
beat the Celtics six No, I'll tell you, if they
were better, they would be there. Swept the Calves who
beat the Mighty Pistons, who were the number one team
in the in the conference. Not only did they beat them,
beat them by fifty on their home floor in game five.
(05:57):
In Game seven, now they go into San anton San
Antonio is the best team they've ever faced. Yeah yeah, yeah,
and they win by ten. And now they've taken home
court away and they're one game away from New York
planning a huge party after Game four, right, Like, I'm
not saying that the Spurs aren't going to win Game two,
but it's just eventually, you have to understand that the
(06:18):
bottom of the end of this season is coming, whether
you like. It's like people think, oh, there's still like
four more rounds of playoffs left for the Knicks to
prove that they're not that great. We're in the finals
and there's there's three more games for the Knicks to win,
and they've taken home court away and none of the
favorites to win the NBA to win the title in
hoist Lario O'Brien trophy. Like, it still baffles me that
(06:38):
people want to go through that, but they will and
they will continue to find ways to do a Yeah,
but with the Knicks press director for your New York Knicks, everybody,
it's Jason Smith. There, you have it right there. No,
I mean, look, you can't caveat all of that. Like
in the end, you're still winning games, and you can
only beat who's on the schedule, and you can only
beat who's on the court. But it doesn't take away
(06:59):
from the fact that this guy didn't play here, that
guy didn't play there. Those are all part of the
narrative in the road. Guess what, they weren't there to
be run over and we'll never know. You can go
play that in your video games. You can go play
that in the Marvel Cinematic universe and go figure out
Earth eight ninety seven or whatever it will be, uh
where maybe all of those guys and principal players are there.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I do know this.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Before the season, fifty three and a half was the
win total for the Knicks. Fifty three and twenty nine.
They screwed you, they.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Were they were right. Hey did they screw us? Or
were they right at the number? Well? They but they
hit the under.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
They were the four that favorite if you bet the under,
well I didn't screw you.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I think a lot of the more people. But you
know how the human psychology yours? Sure, who's putting money
down on the Knicks over under Hicks fans? What are
they betting? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Over? No? No, I gotta say, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And one other thing too. I was saying, I've realized
just now here ten oh seven and fifty four seconds,
I've got a lot of coffee. Oh you have, yeah? Now,
I cling I had some sugar from the Tim Tams
three MB the Tim Tam, but the Knicks were the
Fia Tim TAM's and the Knicks. That's tonight for you.
This is almost like John Belushi's training table for a
(08:09):
little chocolate donuts and cigarettes from that famous set. Look
at him, run, everybody, Hey at my training table. I
got little chocolate donuts as he's got a heater in
his other hand.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
The Knicks were the fourth favorite.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Thunder Nuggets, Calves, Knicks, pistons were thirty three to one,
Spurs sixty six to one, fifty to one. Depending on
where you were shopping, there were some gaps. All that
to say, folks will decide what narrative they want to
run with, and that's fine, right, I mean, that's that's
the way our fun media works. It's lies, damn lies, statistics,
(08:43):
and sometimes it's failing to recognize what you're actually watching.
They've dominated in this game. Jalen Brunson in the fourth
quarter was Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony Towns. We threw them
as flowers last hour and throughout this show as we
came on air, as the second half was getting underway,
and how important he was. It was exacerbated, highlighted, more illustrated,
(09:07):
however you want to put it. When they started throwing
up graphics of what he did to Wenbin Yama defensively,
and that's where you start to get a big blinking
red light because this is a little bit different, right,
This is a little bit different NIXT team because you
got Karl Anthony Towns playing defense at a high level.
But for those that want to push away right once
the title's there, it's fine, but history is still gonna
(09:28):
say that guy didn't play that guy, and you're not
gonna be able to dismiss that. So what you're just
gonna need to do is mute those accounts because otherwise
your blood pressure gets screwed with.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I don't need that for you. This is supposed to
be your happy time.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'm happy, no, dude, but I can but I can
see that it vexes you now. But you're never gonna
get one hundred percent credit because people are going to
point to Tatum somehow, even though he was supposedly.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Cleared not playing a game seven. Yeah, but Detroit. But
here's overachieving to some the Cavalier.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Depending on James Harden, there were flaws it written into
the script. But here's the thing. My happiness level is like,
okay to take two of my other favorite teams. To
tell you where I'm at right now, right I always say,
you know, the Mets. I'm always gonna love the Mets
because baseball my first love. And how much you know,
good or bad, one hundred and sixty year years, I
just love the season.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
As a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Dude, I've been looking for a Kingman jersey for you
know how long for a Mets Kingman jersey. Can't find
one Tom Seaver. I mean, it's so famous that he
had a card stolen in your friends and neighbors. Hey,
I misidentified it, but that's I mean, sever's great. But
having a Dave Kingman one is, you know, because I
can talk about xt, you know, because I've always loved
baseball no matter what bad year, good year, I'm into it.
(10:43):
I tell you about the Jets. What do I say
about the Jets? Am I a Jets fan because I
still watching like I do and as intently as I am,
because I love watching them play football.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
No, but I know at some point one year.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's gonna turn and it's gonna be fun for me
to say, blank, you this is our turn now, all
that we've been a doormat for the better part of
two decades, do you know what it's gonna turn. It
did go to the AFC title game back to back
years again, fifteen years ago, you got ten years ago.
All of my forties, I didn't go to the playoffs,
Mike Carmen, I did not go. I recognize, okay, the
(11:18):
whole decade, I remember, you got there. I was trained
five man nothing for my years of the forties. I'm
not on the All decade fan team. Right for my
last Super Bowl, my team was in the only thing
anybody remembers that Prince was playing the Raid. So then
the rigs are a perfect blend of both of those.
How much I love the Knicks and how much of
(11:39):
yeah you think we're bad?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Wait, wait, way do we show you? Way?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Do we stick it to you?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
The Knicks?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Heaven one since the year I was bored? How about
that time? Man?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You know, when I'm old, I've lived many live. Phil
Jackson was their second best player. He was fantastic throwing
bows in the low low post. You mean he was
borderline dirty by the way. People would say, no, you
mean Phil Jackson was the coach last I know he
was there second best player the last time they won.
Oh you sure he wasn't the coach? Yeah no, pretty sure.
Pull up a picture of Phil Jackson on his nineteen
(12:08):
seventy three tops card. He's as thick as Wemby not Wenby. Check.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, he looks like chet holmger Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
So one of those elbows comes at you, it's like
he's swinging aside. I think seventy three card. Let me say,
hang on, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there he is, yeah
hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Look at that. Oh wow, look how lean he is.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
If one of those elbows comes at you, Phil is
all knees and elbows. Man, he looks like what was it,
uh miss peregrins? Yeah, oh your children? Yeah remember that
movie and the the demons that were running around.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It looked like that. Yeah, no, he is. He still
got the mustage. Yeah, no, of course.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
But I mean, like, I mean, I you would think
that at some point the dominance of the Knicks at
this playoffs would really start to take center stage. And
maybe it's gonna flip at some point, but I mean
it like it's it's it's I think the hatred of
the Knicks or them being bad for so long. People
just don't want to believe that they're this good and
can win the NBA Finals. And and I got news
(13:06):
for you. There's only two teams left, and the Knicks
are one of them, and right now they're the favorites
to win. They just took home court away from the
San Antonio Spurs. They've been doing everything you would expect
out of a team. What okay, so oh that we
don't think the Casual that good. We don't think the
Sixers were that good. They won every game by double
digits against that. But even if they're good, what does
(13:27):
it matter? It does it matter you have to win
by thirty? I mean, don't I don't know what. People
want to move the goalpost for the Knicks all the time,
and I'm like, okay, all right, maybe at the parade,
but some of it I think, Jason is the I
have to go out of my way to overcompensate back
this way because I've got way too many New York
voices and stoleing the virtues of the Knicks and laughing
(13:48):
it up. Yeah, So you go to the other end
and be like, all right, well, it's great you won
but the Yeah, but I'm like, you know, start through
you gotta be got to have a heart and.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Understand the joy that comes through here.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I understand that I at least get one year for
the last twenty years of suckitude, or you know, not
the last twenty but up until Brunson got here, like
you know, the fifteen years before of suckitude. Like I
get one good year. I got one year. Yeah, last
year that was so great. No, No, when I walk
away from it, there Halliburton's three and the chokes on
and Reggie Miller laughing, Yeah, yea, all that. Yeah, I
(14:23):
mean like that, I couldn't even enjure you. No, that
was a good time on air that last year, though.
I mean, we got a lot of run out of that.
But I think that might be some of it of
folks just kind of trying to combat the New York
weight and trying to balance the these scales of sports
talk radio justice.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
As it were.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Tomorrow, you're gonna hear a lot of folks go back
through a lot of what we just did with Kat.
We put it out there on a platter for you
and break it down in real time as it goes through.
I'm wise enough to recognize bulls aren't gonna be a
good anytime soon. So I appreciate when guys get there
their just due and go to work right.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
That's the old.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
As much as people hated Belichick and the Patriots, what
was their entire mantra do your job right? You weren't
special in the locker room. Tom Brady getting eviscerated by
coaches the same way as the last man on the
roster with the Knicks. It's very much the same. That
lunch pale mentality and the fact that they I don't know,
seem to like each other. It is kind of cool
(15:24):
as opposed to being a mercenary or a guy that
comes in well, I didn't have no trade, so I
had to show up here and here we go. But
it's it'll be interesting to watch the flow tomorrow because.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We call it out.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Also, as much as you rise up and raise the
level of Karl Anthony Towns, Victor Webman Yama played very
small today. He got bullied in the low post by
Kat and Mitchell Robinson and was I guess satisfied hanging
(15:59):
out on the perimeter shooting bad three point shots looking
for foul calls. You're not gonna get a fall every
time you run into a guy that's six' nine to.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Eighty it's just.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Not gonna happen if you bounce. Off that's, life. Right
you watch. It watch youth. Soccer you'll have a winger
run up and bounce off a. Defender you can't call
a fall every time someone just bounces off the.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Running up to the same thing.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Here When mignalma kept looking for foul calls that weren't
going to, come and what. Happened he started playing a
little further away from the, basket a little further away
from the. Basket so what did that do and open
more opportunities on the rebounding angles For Josh hart and
for all of those secondary players of The knicks to
come in and fill those gaps in the score sheet
to get you to a.
Speaker 3 (16:42):

night you would have known last night how this was
going to. End you're gonna think this is. Edited are
gonna think we did this before the. Show you're gonna
think it's. AI i swear on my life to. You
this was our conversation WITH mlb network Insider John Paul
(21:09):
morosi last. Night joined the show every, Week John paul
is the, best and the last THING i said it, Was,
Okay i'm gonna put you on the. Spot give me
a prediction For Christopher sanchez. Tomorrow what does he? Do
does the streak? Continue give us your, prediction and this
Is John Paul. Morosi Christopher sanchez puts his forty four
(21:30):
and two thirds innings scoreless streak on the line against The.
Padres give me his final pitching line innings pitched runs, aloud.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Seven innings Actually i'm gonna go six and two. THIRDS
i like to.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Specificity you really want you've decided?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Seven? What, no but you feel better at six and TWO.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
I feel a little bit better at six and two.
THIRD i JUST i felt LIKE i wanted to. Be
that's where When i'm predicting, THINGS i like to get
really really specific and maybe even a little bit oddball
on HOW i look at those. Numbers, yeah So i've
Got i've got it being, Yep i've got six and two.
Thirds AND i, say the shutout streak. Continues christmaerstanchez what
(22:14):
a marvel he. Is AND i believe we'll find a
way to keep it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Going and And.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
John paul if he had to go to seven, innings
apparently it would end because one more batter that that's
where it would.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
End you know, what we're they're into the seventh, inning
two on or you, know maybe so two, out maybe one.
On but my, GOODNESS i wouldn't want to remove him
from a. GAME i, mean he's so darned. Good SO
I i could have been persuaded to go to, seven
BUT I i just it's like one of those it's
(22:43):
the price is right showcase, showdown like betting a, Dollar
i'll just go six and two. Thirds SO i get
it without going over are you?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Serious one on out out one on six and two?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Thirds AND i even, said so if he goes another
bad it's. Over, yeah six and two. THIRDS i could
see you know what you out double To france base
hit By, MERRILL i mean streak over that oral herscheizer
celebrates and you AND i Found jesus people, think, okay
forget About Arian foster having THE nfl script from a
(23:18):
couple of years. Ago John Paul morosi apparently has THE mlb.
Script he knew right, Away, Okay i'm gonna. Go he's
got diiff. Solmanac. Man he Stopped.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
No no, Seven no six and two thirds and me
laughing at you back to. DOWN i laughed AT i,
SAID i like his.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
SPECIFICITY i love.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
ON i, said, haha you you're not gonna. Go you're
going to be two on no no one on one
on like?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
THAT I i that is that may be the best.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Prediction we've been doing this how many? Years thirteen years since?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Fourteen, MAN i don't know that there's been a, better
more specific prediction than. That we got a lot of
things right six and, twos a lot of plant when.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
This was just. Insane two outs and THEN i pull.
HIM i, MEAN i wouldn't want to pull.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Him but he did finish the seventh inning after giving
up the. Run but, wow and Then i'm thinking Maybe
meryl doubles that, No france might. Double and Then merril's
drives they hit him pretty.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Well he's been on him in the past.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Matchups to go back the last time he faced The Padre,
no and THEN i mean that there's, predictions there's tried

(24:43):
NO i, say if you could project guy's. Futures. No.
No WHAT i did tell him, was can you just

Weeks but can you can you at least tell me about.

forward when he comes, on are we gonna do a video?
Linkup and he wears The karnak, bit what are he's

a half moon's and, yeah like the Wolf. Man right
when he goes, Walking talbot goes walking into the tent
(25:24):
at the. Circus, Oh i'm just picture more looking Like
dumbledore to look at, it and he sticks our head
in the pen. Seve, look we had a couple of
pictures on the walls that are just staring and scoffing
at us. WORK i mean that WAS i, mean there's
predictions and There's John Paul morrosi man does Seven no, no,
(25:45):
no wait wait wait.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
It's six and two thirds and two thirds at.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Six that's. Unbelievable, no we love that. Guy we talk
Unbelievable and the knicks going up one zip over the.
Spurs we talked About Karl Anthony towns last. Hour he's
the reason why this has won. Nothing this was the
best game Of Karl Anthony towns' career right both ends
(26:10):
of the. Court, defensively what he did To wemby, offensively
being the, facilitator being the second scorer they needed, eighteen
twelve and.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Six he was.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Terrific The knicks win this game and they pull away
Because Jalen brunson Does Jalen brunson.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Things the end of a. Game he's.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Clutch. AGAIN i don't know that there's a guy in
the league that hits more clutch, shots not more clutch free.
Throws that would BE, Sga BUT i don't know there's
a guy at the end of games because consistently he
takes all the shots right, still the way the offense opens,
up there's room for other. Guys and because the offenses
open up, more it's harder to concentrate just On, Brunson
(26:47):
whereas even last year at this time it was, okay
four guys standing around and Maybe jalen bruns can get
his own shot and he makes. It it's make or miss.
League he makes it that. Great sometimes he misses The
knicks would blow a big. Lead that's how it. Goes
BUT i don't know that there's a guy that hits
the sheer number of clutch shots down the stretch in
a tight game That brunson. Does and he did it
tonight thirteen points in the fourth, quarter and you, know
(27:11):
at the. End and this is What i've talked about
The knicks all season, long even going back to the
beginning of the, YEAR i, said the last four minutes
of a, game nobody out executes The. Knicks. Right they
have figured out a way offensively to make it where
it's not the team it was a year. Ago no
one's going to out execute them because now it's a
little bit different. Offense brunson's one of the most clutch
(27:31):
guys in the. Game you're not going to out execute
The knicks in the final four. Minutes and when you
think about, that you think about the huge advantage they
have over The, spurs, Because, okay at the end of
a game like this is a tie game basically over
the course of the last couple of. Minutes, okay so
It's brunson against, two, Right, Like, okay The spurs are
a great, team, right great young. Team Wemby, Castle Harper, fox, right,
(27:56):
champion he made shots. Tonight but, okay where's the ball
going when you need a? BASKET i Know Jalen brunt
is gonna take the. Shot and If Jalen brunson gets
doubled or he's gonna find a way to find the open,
guy whether it's og Or hart Or bridges Or Karl Anthony.
Towns but who's gonna do that for The? Spurs right
when it comes down to a close game and The
(28:18):
spurs need a? Bucket where are you gonna? Go like
you need to? Go and and And Rick buker talked
to us and, saying you, know the thing is Obviously
wemby is someone you want to give him the ball,
to but being a, big that's kind of hard to.
Do even if you're a skilled big Like, wemby it's
hard to go To, wemby, Right so, Okay so if
it's Not, wemby it's a guy with the ball in his,
Hands like Is Daron fox making all these shots That
Jalen brunson, Is he's. Not Dylan harper's, terrific, Right and
(28:40):
he was the GUY i told you last night who
WAS i scared of having a big, Series Dylan. Harper
he had a huge game, tonight, Right, no, no, no
he had a huge start to the, game a huge see,
Court he's thut in the fourth. Quarter and if you
look at his shot chart for the fourth, Quarter, yeah
he took his money and you AND i did. Combined
so obviously you know he's not gonna get the shots
at the end of the. Game, uh is it gonna be. Champion,
(29:02):
no because he had one shot in the second. Half
but who's gonna take those? Shots who's gonna be that
guy when it's a close, game and and THE nba
is a man's, game it comes down to. This these
are Big these are big. Decisions these are big possessions
where the entire season rests on what you can. Do
and when you have somebody that you know is gonna
take those. Shots, OKAY i mean going back to The
(29:26):
thunder series against The, spurs LIKE sga was the only
guy that could take. That, okay, Great But SGA's game
is not quite What brunson's game. Is when it comes
to What brunson has at his, DISPOSAL sga is either
making that shot and or nobody. Else's so When SGA's
thing is to get into the. Lane, well guess what
(29:47):
With wenby Being, wemby he had a tough time the
entire series shooting. Right so that's WHY i talk about
The thunder being a great matchup for The, spurs, because,
yeah they don't have that second. Score there's nobody else
where they can go with the. Ball you can just
isolate On sga and With wemby Being, wemby you're gonna
force him into bad Shooting with The, Knicks, okay you
want to isolate On Gentlen, brunson there's other guys can
(30:08):
make those. Shots but, still you, know when you come
down to the end of the, game you have clarity
as to where the ball is gonna go on how
this offense is gonna. Run do The spurs have any?
Clarity they don't. Know the other thing when you look
at The knicks construction is you've got, guys And i'll
just say it in its basis, terms you got guys
with a lot of ass that will clear ways for
brunts and to fine. Lanes, Right he's a small, guy great,
(30:31):
body control all of that. Stuff but Without, mitchell Without,
cat that lane gets cluttered real. Fast those guys clear
a lot of space for. Him And Oklahoma city didn't
have that. Guy, Right jet's not moving any. BODIES i,
Mean hartenstein is to a, point but he doesn't live
down in the low post the same way and create
(30:52):
those same types of OPPORTUNITIES. SGA a lot of it
was body, control get to the, line all of that.
Stuff when we look at where the spurs. Are Darren
fox has been a great. Disappointment LIKE i know he
was hurt to start last, series but he was invisible,
tonight shot poorly and in the fourth. Quarter the ball's
got to be in his. Hands wemby can't be eighteen
feet from the basket and then, okay let me try
(31:16):
to drive against now four guys that are gonna just
impede my way to the, basket and you don't have
the same level of.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Rebounding.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Right the video that's making the rounds now isn't game.
Related it goes back To Jalen. Brunson you AND i
were on air when this started, circulating When Josh hart
got traded to The knicks and he was reunited with his,
guy and he was at an airport and started running.
Around he can't do his phone trying to confirm the nut's.
Case you got a guy Like Josh hart rebound no space.
Whatever but, again you've got bigs that can create that x.
(31:46):
Space spurs don't have that. Guy, no they don't have
that guy because they're not on the court at the same. Time,
Right cornett does that to a, degree but only do
a much smaller. Degree he still has one of the
great rundown blocks since shot blocker. Room, wait but but
they're not on the court together a ton, Right you're
you're mixing and. Matching but the fact That Dylan harper
(32:07):
wasn't around for much of the second half and That
Darren fox played so. Terribly now he played well In
game seven when you needed. Him Keldon johnson played well
In game. Seven they both were useless from a tactical Standpoint.
Tonight both kind of shrunk away in the, moment Allowing
Jalen brunson to have one of Those New york. Minutes once,
(32:27):
again The knicks seemed to be more in sync with each,
other which are. RIGHT i, mean they haven't been together
a long the. Time The spurs are a younger. Team
like you, know it's stuff that you, expect but, REALLY
i mean that's the big stark. Difference it comes down
to an alternate possession. GAME i, KNOW i know what
The knicks are gonna, do and they have confidence.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Going we're.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Not we're not playing slow when it comes down to
the end of a, Game we're. Not we know what's gonna.
Happen where the. Spurs do we go hot? Hand do
we try to jam jamming Into? Wenby do we try
to what do we do like they don't have? That
we get him back to the, basket get him down
low where he's not playing point guard up at the
top of the. Heat the other THING i have to
say is there's one MORE mvp we haven't. Acknowledged, Sure brunson's,
(33:08):
dad we.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Did.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah whoever was the equipment guy Or brunson himself who
decided after.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
The injury that he had to change his Shoe.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Shoes and whoever game the knee brace all of that
buckle them. In now you sell that knee? Brace hea't
Used you said that one video making the rounds With
brunson And Josh. Hart this other video is making the
rounds tight.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Shirt we got it.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Guy that guy might be On Dan patrick in the.
Speaker 1 (33:35):

from out of, bounds runs to the, key makes it
to the free throw, line and he puts his phone
up and he starts taking a selfie Because wemby is behind.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Him Mitch robinson is hiding around and really.

a lot of. You that's why now they're on like
season fifty seven. Though fifty seven yeah in a. Row
uh so that's s for you that stayed. Kick, YEAH
(41:53):
i mean you have to think that he's going to
put it out there and it's going to get an
incredible number of clicks because and again it's probably video
that he's smiling that because you, know they run and
they grab him or whatever is. Said BUT i, mean
